Roasted Garbanzo beans

I got this recipe off of SteamyKitchen, and served it with lamb meatballs. It is incredibly easy and gives the garbanzo beans a nutty crunch and taste. Flavored with whatever spice you want to use. The recipe is linked above.

The meatballs are half ground beef half ground lamb, seasoned with salt, pepper, grated onion, garlic, oregano. Browned in the pan then finished in the oven at 400deg (same temp as garbanzo beans) with marinara and red wine.

I served them together in a bowl, the toasted garbanzo acting as the pasta or starch for the meatballs. Turned out great.
